mansnaam en dit is Jacobus of Jakobus. Die verkorte vorms
is Kobus, Koos, Kosie,Kobie,Jaap,Japie daarom het ons so
veel byname soos Blikkies (cans), Vleis, Bakkies (face).
Want as iemand vir Koos roep antwoord almal :-).

Ek skeer maar net die gek - nogtans woord ek John genoem om
my uit te ken.

John (Koos) le Grange

Baie dankie voor die bostaande inligting met betrekking tot jou naam, liewe
Koos ~ John (~ Jacques le Grange).

Is Kobus, Koos, (Kosie =) *Koosje, (Kobie =) *Koobje, Jaap en Japie nie ook
Nederlands vir Jacobus nie?

Maar ek glo, ekwiwalente vir "Blikkies," "Vleis" en "Bakkies" het jullie in
Nederlands nie.  Of het ek dit mis?  Dis werklik eienaardig!

Groete,
Reinhard/Ron
